ADVANCEMENTS in agricultural technology have a major and exciting role to play in helping the growing global population access healthy, affordable and environmentally friendly food.
There has been much discussion at COP26 of how countries intend to reduce the impact food production has on the planet, but no-one seems to be addressing how this matches up with feeding our exponentially growing populations.
With the topic of “science and innovation” on the agenda of today’s climate summit, delegates need to consider carefully some of the exciting technologies which are paving the way for smarter and more sustainable food production in the years ahead.
